Description Anna Vyalkova 2021-08-01 10:18:40 UTC
All it does is installing one small file and thus should be removed to avoid
unnecessary rebuilds.

Please add

xinetd? ( sys-apps/xinetd   )

to RDEPEND in the ebuilds as all other ebuilds do that have xinetd USE flag.

The conformant thing to do would be to remove it everywhere if it only controls installation of a small file.
